Using Surround Sound

Taking Advantage of the Sound Fields

How can you customize the sound fields?

Each sound field is composed of sound parameters — variables of sound that create sound image. You can customize the sound fields by adjusting some of the sound parameters to best suit your listening situation. See the following chart for the adjustable sound parameters.

Once you customize the sound fields, they are stored in memory unless the amplifier is unplugged for about 1 week.

The adjustable parameters for each sound field are shown on the charts below.
